Message from Chennai Rainbow Coalition : Owing to a schedule conflict the Chennai city police have permitted us to march in the morning (10 am) rather than the evening.

Our apologies for the inconvenience caused, especially to those getting in from out of town. We hope, nevertheless, that LGBT folks and our allies will show up in large numbers to march in solidarity. Please spread the word to other individuals and organizations who may not access these lists. Masks are available for those who would like to participate without revealing their faces.

Sankari, Sangama (NGO) : I was so thrilled to see the turn out at the first pride march in Chennai. Sitting at the planning meetings, I never imagined these many people would show up at the marina beach! We see the women participation increasing year after year, which is wonderful! I can’t wait for the march this year. It is on June 26th, Sunday at 10 AM. Please be there!
